Different Uses for Hangers

Tips for Tuesday

We've been using hangers all our lives, watching the evolution from
wood and wire to plastic and velvet.There are special use hangers for pants, skirts, belts and ties.Some hangers hold one item, some are designed
to hold several items at once to save space in your closet.

But while we know what we usually use hangers for, here are some
unusual uses for hangers.

Wire Hangers

·Grabber/reacher—pull it at the bottom to
lengthen it, then use the hook to grab wires or things you've dropped behind
furniture, or to grab items from upper shelves.

·Slip shower curtain rings over a hanger, then
hang scarves from the rings.

·Sunglasses—fold and slip them over the hanger.

Multi-Pant Hangers

·Bracelets/necklaces

·Ribbon

·Scarves

·Men's ties—sort by color on each rod.

·Sweaters—fold as you would for the shelf, then
slip over a rod.

Clamp or Clip Pants/Skirt Hangers

your cabinet while cooking
